Static Build & Install Failing on Ubuntu

[cjgatto]

Hi, I'm trying to build and install msquic statically. I would like to use the CMake find_package command to load this library for my app build.

The following static build & install does not install the built static library, nor does it install all CMake config.

$ cmake -G Ninja -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON -DQUIC_BUILD_SHARED=NO -DCMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES=".a"

$ ninja -C build
...
[56/56] Linking C static library obj/Release/libmsquic_static.a

$ sudo ninja -C build install
ninja: Entering directory `build'
[0/1] Install the project...
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/msquic.h
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/msquic_winuser.h
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/msquic_posix.h
-- Up-to-date: /usr/local/include/quic_sal_stub.h
-- Installing: /usr/local/share/msquic/msquic-config.cmake

However, this appears to work for the dynamic build.

$ cmake -G Ninja -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON -DCMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES=".a"

$ ninja -C build
...
[57/57] Creating library symlink bin/Release/libmsquic.so.2 bin/Release/libmsquic.so

$ sudo ninja -C build install

[0/1] Install the project...

The dynamic libraries are installed to /usr/local/lib and the addition CMake files are installed as well.

Am I missing something to get this working for static builds, or does this functionality not yet exist?
As for libcrypto and libssl that are part of the static build, should their libraries and package config files be installed as well?

I don't think we've ever tried installing static builds, so it's probably not supported.
